Sentence examples for value breeding from inspiring English sources

As a consequence, when polymorphic genic-SSRs are identified in high value breeding lines they can have considerable utility for marker assisted selection (MAS) [ 21].

Whether these SNPs may harbor good predictive value of breeding values in marker-aided selection schemes remains to be verified in large association populations.

The animals are clearly suffering and there is no conservation value to breeding them in captivity.

It is also possible that in the context of the CSI, such households had the livestock numbers that enabled them to cope either by the use of CCS reflecting greater food insecurity, e.g. sale of high-value breeding stock, or more frequent use of those reflecting less food insecurity like sale of calves or small livestock, or both.

Arable fields had low habitat values for breeding birds.

Likewise, many pig breeders will only use sires with the highest breeding values for breeding.

Use of planned matings could also be a way to motivate farmers that are otherwise not interested in using genomic breeding values for breeding schemes.

The overall breeding value of each animal was the sum of a 'residual polygenic breeding value' and a 'QTL breeding value'.

The methods were validated using genotype imputation error rate, imputation accuracy, correlation between direct genomic values (DGV and BLUPP breeding values (EBV), and approximate accuracies of DGV.

Correlations between simulated and estimated breeding values were assessed for the overall MA-BLUP EBV (2), the residual polygenic breeding value (u ^ i in (2)), and the breeding value at the QTL (QTL-EBV, v ^ i in (2)).

Nonparametric additive regression models for genomic breeding value estimation were shown to estimate breeding values of individuals without phenotypic information with moderate to high accuracy.
